[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9340646, member: 7030563"] I am not a fan of the mobility feat on a Monk. Monk is MAD and you really need to boost Wisdom and Dexterity unless you had fabulous rolls at character creation. Protecting you from 4 or 5 AOOs a day is not worth a feat IMO. I also have problem getting an entire feat to do what you can do better by simply spending a bonus action and ki for SOW (or many times a ki and stunning strike). I find people have an illogical fear of taking AOOs. When I am playing a Monk I rarely use step of wind to disengage, Instead I will take Patient Defense and make them use their reaction at disadvantage (along with all other attacks over the following round against me to be at disadvantage). I will alternatively use SOW-dash and take 1 AOO but then move beyond the bad guy's movement range so they can't get to me with multiattack on their turn. I don't think this aversion to AOOs is specifc to Monk, but a lot of people feel like once they are engaged they have to stay put or find a way to disengage. This is a bit true at low level when an AOO can one shot you even with full hit points, but once you hit level 4 or so taking an AOO in combat every couple rounds is not generally the end of the world and is often better than staying engaged.
